My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 327: You will die if anything happens!!

In the vast expanse of a world shrouded entirely in darkness, a lone beacon of light shimmered amidst the void.

It was a spectacle so mesmerizing that Pearl couldn't help but inquire, "What is that?" Her eyes, fixated on the pitch-black sky, were drawn to the sparkling anomaly that pierced through the gloom.

"Let me check it," Eli declared with curiosity, his foot firmly planted on the ground and,

'Boom!!'

"Wai---Tsk" Pearl clicked her tongue in frustration as she watched Eli already soaring towards the heavens, his silhouette fading into the dark expanse above.

As Eli propelled himself towards the seemingly limitless sky, there amidst the darkness, he encountered a mesmerizing sight: swirling white sparks, reminiscent of a... portal.

A smile adorned his face, a mixture of excitement and relief, though he reached out towards it, the distance seemed to be still too far.

'BOOM!!'

Returning to the ground with a thud, Eli turned to face Pearl and Arlyne, his countenance illuminated with jubilation,

"That's the portal!"

Pearl and Arlyne exchanged surprised glances, their tired faces momentarily alight with hope as they contemplated the possibility of escaping their current predicament.

However,

"It's dangerous, isn't it?" Pearl voiced her apprehension, her eyes betraying a hint of uncertainty.

"...." Eli's gaze flickered briefly towards her, his silence answered her concerns.

Indeed, Pearl's caution was not unfounded. The sudden appearance of the portal, suspended high above in the sky, was enough to give anyone pause.

Though their desire to escape was palpable, the serene atmosphere that enveloped them now seemed tinged with apprehension, overshadowing their initial excitement.

"Let's test it then..." Arlyne's voice broke the uneasy silence as she rummaged through her belongings, searching for something to aid in their assessment.

Eli and Pearl turned their attention towards her, their eyebrows raised in anticipation as she retrieved a small stone. With a determined expression, she pointed towards the sky, her hand pulsating with a deep shade of crimson as her muscles swelled with newfound strength.

'SSHHHHOOWWW!!!'

With a sudden burst of energy, the stone shot towards the dark sky, propelled by Arlyne's enhanced strength. Sensing an opportunity to investigate further, Eli leapt into the air, joining the stone in its trajectory towards the distant portal.

Eli's gaze remained fixed on the swirling white portal, his anticipation palpable as the stone neared its threshold, poised to breach the portal when,

'Spark, Spark'

Eli blinked, his eyes registering the unexpected phenomenon.

The stone was gone!!!

Returning to the ground.

Returning to the ground, he relayed his observation to the group. "You mean, you saw sparks?" Arlyne inquired, her brow furrowing in confusion.

"Yes," Eli confirmed with a sombre expression. Sensing the gravity of the situation, he urged Arlyne to repeat the experiment, albeit with heightened vigilance.

'SSHHHHOOWWW!!!'

"BOOM!!"

This time, Eli channelled his mana, his eyes bulging with exertion as he strained to perceive any anomaly.

'Tuck, Tuck, Tuck, Tuck..'

'Tuck, Tuck, Tuck, Tuck..'

In a certain cave-like place, they stumbled upon an unexpected sight... Four Thunderbonii, their bony bodies gleaming in the dim light as they chattered amongst themselves, their jaws moving with mechanical typing machine.

Eli hid in the corner while covering Arlyne's mouth to stifle any inadvertent sound who had a horrified expression as for Pearl she was hiding behind Eli.

'.....What's wrong with these Transcendents!! Scared of Few Dog eating Bones!!!' Eli couldn't help but wonder.

Eli's initial instinct urged him to confront the Thunderbonii, especially considering their unusual behaviour and the potential advantage of acquiring their advanced equipment. However, a glance at his team huddled behind him with expressions ranging from fear to uncertainty gave him pause.

He was already feeling guilty pulling these two useless idiots into his mess. So instead of taking any more dangerous steps, Eli decided to leave and search for other places.

And soon they found a place that was,

"Isn't this the same place we entered?" Pearl asked, her brow furrowed in confusion as she noticed the scattered bones littering the floor and the dark patches staining the walls, remnants of their previous stay.

"But we've only been searching for a minute..." Arlyne muttered, her expression contorted in a grimace of disbelief.

The realization hit them like a heavy blow. Despite their few minutes of time, they found themselves back in the same cavern they had left long hours ago.

It defied all logic.....

Pearl's and Arlyne's faces drained of colour as their legs trembled beneath them, prompting them to hurriedly seek solace at Eli's side, clutching his hand.

Observing their reaction, Eli couldn't help but 'Sigh'.

While he appreciated the girls' fondness for him, his mind was consumed with concern for their predicament unfolding beyond this world.

"THUNDER!!!"

The distant rumble of thunder drew nearer, signalling the impending onslaught of a thunderstorm. Acting swiftly, Eli utilized his Arts Technique to seal the cave entrance, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.

"Arlyne, please create a fire," Eli requested, his voice laced with urgency. However, Arlyne recoiled, her hands trembling as they clung tightly to Eli's own.

"W-What?" Eli's confusion was evident as he tried to comprehend her sudden hesitation.

"A-Ask her!" Arlyne gestured towards Pearl, who flinched at the sudden attention.

"W-What do you mea--"

The cave reverberated with the deafening roar of thunder, drowning out Pearl's words.

"THUNDER!!"

"BOOM!!!"

"BOOM!!"

"BOOM!!"

"BOOM!!"

"KYYYAAAAAA!!!!" Pearl's piercing scream echoed off the cavern walls.

"..." Arlyne slumped to the ground, unconscious, overwhelmed by the chaos unfolding around them.

Asher Eli..... heavily sighed.
